The group was formed in 1991 when they were introduced to each other by manager Joe Jacket (of New Kids on The Block), who was looking to create a mainstream Latino group. After auditioning to Charles Koppelan, the CEO of EMI Records, they were then signed to SBK Records, a pop sub-division of EMI. They initially wanted to crossover as mainstream American pop singers, similar to Gloria Estefan, Jon Secada, and Selena. The following year, they released their debut album, "Crazy Coolin'", which they toured in middle and high schools across New York City, and made motivational speeches. Their single "Muy Suavemente", charted on the Billboard Latin Charts; its accompanying music video was shot in the barrios of New York City, sticking to their heritages. Their follow-up album "Dondequiera Que Estes" (1993) peaked on Billboard Latin Pop Albums at number-seven, whereas the album peaked at number-fifteen on the Billboard Top Latin Albums. The duet, with Selena, peaked at number-one on three Billboard charts in 1994 as Selena and the Barrio Boyzz promoted the song during her Amor Prohibido Tour. The song helped the Barrio Boyzz crossover to Southern United States Their next album, "Una Vez Mas" peaked at number three on the Latin Pop Albums, while managing on the top twenty of the Billboard Top 50 Latin Albums. Their crossover album, "How We Roll", an all-English language album, was released in 1995. The group continued to chart on Billboard until the release of Destiny in 2000. The group released their last studio album, "Destino" in 2001, before the band broke up. On 5 April 2005, during the benefit concert Selena ¡VIVE!, the Barrio Boyzz reunited and sang "Dreaming of You" along with Colombian-American singer Soraya, who died of breast cancer within a year.
How We Roll
Barrio Boyzz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And were rolling like that
So honey's come in
Kick off your shoes and lay back
(Champagne, caviar, and bubble bath)
This is how we do
And we do it like that so honey's come in
Kick off your shoes and lay back
Have you ever been exposed
To the finer things
I can bring to life for you all these dreams, like
Parties with movie stars, ocean cruises, cavier
Champagne on ice, whatever you like
(just let your imagination flow)
Anyway you want to roll
I'll bring you diamonds and pearls
Trips all around the world, girl
And when you're ready, girl I'll sex you just right
Cause we can stop for us
It's about time
This is how we roll
And were rolling like that
So honey's come in
Kick off your shoes and lay back
(Champagne, caviar, and bubble bath)
This is how we do
And we do it like that so honey's come in
Kick off your shoes and lay back
(Champagne, caviar, and bubble bath)
Have you ever been aroused beyond control
Let me penetrate your body..mind and soul
Just lay back and let me soothe
Watch my body groove you
All through the night, I can make it so right
(let me kiss you from head to toe)
Anywhere you want me to go
I'll make you tremble inside
Take you so high
No other man can do
The things to you I can
So just relax and take my hand
This is how we roll
And were rolling like that
So honey's come in
Kick off your shoes and lay back
(Champagne,caviar and bubble bath)
This is how we do
And we do it like that so honey's come in
Kick off your shoes and lay back
(all through the night)
(Champagne,caviar and bubble bath)
This is how we roll
And were rolling like that
So honey's come in
Kick off your shoes and lay back
(Champagne,caviar and bubble bath)
This is how we move
And we do it like that
(don't you worry about a thing)
So honey's come in
Kick off your shoes and lay back
(Champagne,caviar and bubble bath)
Ya know what I'm sayin'
Yeah, yeah, c'mon, c'mon
Yeah, yeah, uh, uh
This is how we roll
Barrio and we do it like this
Crusin lately by the heights
Rollin dice now it's champagne on ice
Time I sacrifice, call it deja vous
But when I first freak you
Peep you, greet you, sweet 5 and got live
Things you ain't seen or never saw
Land cruisers, 4x4 I'll take you for a tour
Fat roll my bank account swole
Relax your mind and soul
Say yeah won't you sing
This is how we roll
And were rolling like that (baby)
So honey's come in
Kick off your shoes and lay back
(this is how we do, this is how we do)
(Champagne, caviar and bubble bath)
This is how we do
And we do it like that so honey's come in
Kick off your shoes and lay back
(Champagne,caviar and bubble bath)
This is how we roll (this is how we roll)
And were rolling like that (ain't no doubt about it)
So honey's come in (this is how I move)
Kick off your shoes and lay back (this is what I do)
(Champagne,caviar and bubble bath)
This is how we do (said whatever you want)
And we do it like that so honey's come in
Kick off your shoes (whatever you need baby)
And lay back (I can give you everything you need
(Champagne,caviar and bubble bath)
This is how we roll
And were rolling like that
So honey's come in
Kick off your shoes and lay back
(Champagne,caviar and bubble bath)
This is how we do
And we do it like that so honey's come in
Kick off your shoes and lay back
(Champagne,caviar and bubble bath)
